The transformed part of a flowering plant that reproduces by producing fruits and seeds is called a flower. Flowers grow at the top of the trunk and branches. Flowers are known to be the most visually pleasing parts of plants. All flowering plants produce flowers and they help in plant reproduction. Some of the biological functions of flowers are to facilitate reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the fertilization of the egg and sperm. Pollination is of two types, namely: self-pollination and cross-pollination. Self-pollination occurs when pollen from an anther is deposited on another flower of the same flowering plant. On the other hand, cross pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the calyx of another flower on a different plant of the same species. Self-pollination occurs between flowers. The stamens and carpels mature at the same time and are positioned so that the pollen can land on the calyx. Some flowers can produce diaspores without fertilization (parthenocarpy).

Flowers have been considered symbols of beauty and spiritual objects for thousands of years. Everyone knows that there is a tradition of worshiping Gods and Goddesses through flowers in traditional religion. Even special flowers are used in the worship of special Gods and Goddesses. For example: Dhutura flowers in the worship of Shiva, Jaba flowers in the worship of Maa Kali. Moreover, in many countries, it is mandatory to take flowers as national symbols. For example, there is the presence of Shapla flower in the national symbol of Bangladesh. Flowers also make a huge contribution to our environment. As a food there is no comparison to the nectar of flowers. Even flower honey can be stored for many years. Again, flowers are sometimes considered as a means of expressing love.
